Sometimes you just get a little bit of something at a time, so you do the best you can at preserving it. This week has been one of those.
So I harvested the top half of my basil plants and made pesto for the freezer.
My husband harvested a pumpkin which I turned into two pumpkin pies (one got eaten and one went into the freezer) and some pumpkin butter for the freezer. Old small peanut butter jars work fantastic for this. I also picked some crowder peas that my husband shelled so I could blanch them and put them in the freezer. We only got 4 bags of 2 cups each this picking.
We always have our eye on the next vegetable, so my husband amended and tilled the soil so we could plant some carrots, beets, turnips and a little spinach, and left a row for some broccoli seedlings later.
My husband also worked on the new asparagus bed coming soon by adding some chicken gold, ashes and compost to the new bed. Life is good!
